“When My people who are
called by My name humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from
their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, will forgive their sin and
will HEAL THEIR LAND” (2 Chronicles 7:14).
Hey Gang: Oops! I said in an earlier morning message it would
be my last on Shemitah, but there has been so much that has come across my
computer in the past several days that must be shared, so please give me a
reprieve from moving on and sharing one last
morning message on the subject. I
do not apologize for going back on my word, for I do not believe there is a more
important subject for today’s Believers than what God has done in the past and
what I sincerely believe gives us insight into what He will do in the
future.
With the coming climax to the end of the Shemitah year on
September 13, it seems our government is no longer sauntering down the path of
defiance to the will of God, but has pushed the pedal to the metal in defiance
Jehovah God. Two weeks ago it was a decision by the Supreme Court (I do not
find them supreme in any way) that Americans born in Jerusalem cannot list “Israel”
on their passports as their country of birth.
Why? Because Jerusalem remains
part of a ‘dispute territory’ and such a move might provoke Muslims to violence,
and we certainly do not want to upset the Muslims.
So, the passports should list place of birth as Israel, but
not include the eternal city of Jerusalem.
Of course the Palestinian Authority was ecstatic about this decision for
it created yet another dark cloud over God’s chosen land and God’s chosen
people. It seems most of the nations of
the world stand ready with hammers to drive yet another nail into the Israel
coffin. What they do not realize is they
are really driving those nails into their own coffins!
Mark Biltz, pastor of El Shaddai Ministries and author of Blood
Moons: Decoding the Imminent Heavenly Signs.” (a good read for this day and
age) said, “One might get the idea that the decision to say Jerusalem is not a
part of Israel might be the straw that broke our nation’s back in the eyes of
God”.
There are three Jews on the Supreme Court, (Elana Kagan,
Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Stephen Breyer), who voted against saying Jerusalem was
a part of Israel, because they were afraid of the giants’ in the political
arena around the world. Which means
their heritage was overcome with fear.
There are also six Catholics on the court, which means there are no evangelical
Christians who are protecting the rights of the Christian Believers of our
land.
Biltz pointed out: “It is interesting to note the Torah
reading for the weekend in every Synagogue in the world, when this decision was
passed down, happed to be “Shelach”. This is a very short story about the spies who
brought the bad report, making a false judgment call, because they feared the
giants in the land. God told them Israel
was theirs for the taking, and it was a horrible disaster resulting in having
to wander for 40 years in the desert.”
They traded God’s promise that He would provide a way for them to
conquer the land of milk and honey for forty years in the desert of Zin.”
As we enter the last quarter of the Shemitah year and
rapidly close in on the final day of this Shemitah year (September 13), keep in
mind on September 14, the Jewish New Year will also begin which is the Year of
Jubilee, which occurs every fifty years following seven sabbatical years.
Also mark on your calendar that on September 28th,
the fourth series of blood moons which will coincide with the Feast of Tabernacles. It will be clearly visible in Israel and is
called “the super moon” since it will be as close to the earth as the moon ever
gets. Is this not an exciting time to be
alive and see God moving and shaking? Jesus said, “Listen up gang when these things
begin to happen it times to get your life in order for your redemption is
coming like a freight train”. (Hainley Rendition of Luke 21:28).
Soooo, please listen to this old man, it does not matter if
you understand or don’t understand all there it
to know about Shemitah and Blood
Moon, but know this - in 1973 “Oil Stocks took a deep hit resulting in many
lost fortunes. In 1980 a hard recession hit our country resulting in economic
woes. In 1987 the Stock Market crashed
and in 1994 the Bond Market crashed. In
2001 and 2008 the stock market crashed and the news is filled daily that we are
on the very edge of another financial crash in our country.
Hey man, there ain’t nothing I can do about it! Wrong! Dead wrong! True the government does not seem bent on
doing anything about it; they still spend money they do not have, they continue
to try and remove God from every facet of our lives, and we ain’t seen nothing
yet. We are still mass murdering a million babies a year, we are fixen’ to
throw Israel under the bus, and most recently the top lawyers in our country -
that make laws by decree instead of Judicial prudence- said we need to make gay
marriage part of the law of the land.
Are we not throwing buckets full of gasoline on our sin?
What can we do? WE can do what God said we should do when our
nation begins to slip into the mire and muck of this world. We can turn the heat up on the devil by
placing 2 Chronicles 7:14 on our refrigerator doors, the rear view mirror of
our cars, and on the bathroom mirrors as a reminder to be in constant prayer
for our Nation.
Blessings,
Gramps
